Market Uncertainty—Never Comfortable But Potentially Profitable

Taymour Tamaddon , Portfolio Manager

Key insights

  • A range of factors, both at a broad market level as well as company‑specific concerns, are contributing to a general sense of market uncertainty. And with uncertainty comes weakening investor confidence.
  • However, for U.S. large‑cap growth investors, these periods of market uncertainty have historically provided some of the best opportunities to generate alpha.
  • Beyond any short‑term uncertainty, U.S. large‑cap companies are driving much of the innovation that we are seeing in the market today. This remains an ongoing attraction

Any number of factors can combine to generate a broader sense of market or stock‑specific uncertainty for investors. These can be macroeconomic or geopolitical concerns, such as the current U.S.‑China trade tensions, the moderating growth environment, or a shift in central bank policy. Or they can be more stock specific, with disruptive industry trends as well as operational, regulatory, and competitive factors all coming into play. Ultimately, any uncertainty can lead to an erosion of confidence and weigh on stock market performance.

However, in the U.S. large‑cap space—the most efficient part of the most efficient market in the world—these periods of uncertainty have historically provided strong alpha‑generating potential. While never exactly comfortable, we see uncertainty as an opportunity.

Seizing Opportunity From Uncertainty

Market uncertainty creates potential pricing dislocation opportunities, as investors will frequently overreact in response to bad news. Whether it is at a broad market level, or specific to certain stocks, uncertainty creates short‑term opportunities for long‑term investors to potentially take advantage of this dislocation.

Importantly, for the T. Rowe Price US Large‑Cap Growth Equity Strategy, we are constantly trying to identify and invest in innovative businesses—companies that, by virtue of their novel ideas, services, or products, have the potential to deliver long‑term, compounded growth. These types of companies create potentially industry‑disruptive uncertainty, and this is the kind we rush toward.

Identifying companies that have these capabilities and potential demands research that goes beyond the day‑to‑day headlines. News stories create pockets of opportunity; however, it is difficult to make a lot of money from this kind of approach in the large‑cap arena. It might be possible to achieve a 1% or 2% gain following a major news story. However, rarely is anything significant gleaned from this short‑term “noise” that is ultimately useful in gaining a deeper insight into the company’s long-term growth or profit profile. In our experience, the only way to consistently try to capitalize on uncertainty in the U.S. large‑cap sector, is by having a deep understanding of companies’ fundamental businesses and the distinctiveness of proposition they offer.

Looking Beyond the Short‑Term Market “Noise”

Facebook is a great example of our approach. The stock fell from USD 210 in mid‑2018, to USD 125 over the next six months, largely due to concerns about its approach to data privacy. Poor decision‑making in the first instance and a distinct lack of transparency in communications once the issue arose weighed heavily on the stock.

However, looking beyond the immediate negative market reaction, we sought to revisit and retest our initial investment thesis. This involved further analysis into why so many companies use Facebook for their advertising, its principal revenue source. During a series of visits to companies across the country, most confirmed that advertising with Facebook represented the first or second most significant return on their investment. Understanding this, it became clear that the data privacy breach would not, of itself, see companies withdraw what is effectively their most profitable avenue for growth.

As a long‑term investor in Facebook, we also had a good understanding of the potential impact of major issues on daily/monthly average users. In this instance, despite the very public backlash, we observed only a relatively small negative impact on average user numbers.

The combination of these two factors meant that, when the stock price fell sharply, not only were we comfortable holding, but we added to our position during this period of weakness.

Dedicated, Fundamental Research Underpins Conviction Decision‑Making

Boeing is another example where we have backed our conviction view through a period of heightened uncertainty for the company. Boeing faced a crisis in the wake of tragic incidents involving its new 737 MAX model aircraft. Through comprehensive research and insights into the sector, we were confident that Boeing could withstand the impact of the crisis.

Our dedicated sector analysts have a deep understanding of the aerospace industry, which is effectively structured as a duopoly. Our research highlighted that a heavy order backlog faces its main competitor, which is unlikely to be able to deliver on any new aircraft orders until around 2024/25. As a result, we felt confident to build our position in Boeing through the period of weakness.

Innovation Remains a Compelling Theme

We continue to field questions from investors and prospects alike, essentially asking if we still feel the U.S. large‑cap growth environment is a good place to invest right now. All bias aside, one of the ongoing attractions is the innovation and potential market disruption that is coming from the large‑cap area of the U.S. equity market, particularly from companies that are utilizing large data sets to their advantage. And we are not talking about any potential data privacy issues here but rather the analysis of vast sets of accumulated data to improve the consumer experience, for example.

Historically, market disruption has generally started with smaller companies leveraging a new and innovative product or service. However, today data is driving much of the innovation in the market. It takes very large data sets to drive the kind of disruption we are seeing. Given that this volume of data tends to be less available to smaller companies, it is predominantly larger companies that are driving today’s market innovation. This is a trend that has played out significantly over the last five years, with the influence reflected in relative market performance (Fig. 1). Any use of data must be appropriate and within regulations, but the ability to beneficially utilize data is driving better targeting of advertising, leading to happier customers and improved revenues.

Market uncertainty is likely to remain prominent for the foreseeable future. Macroeconomic and political risks represent potential headwinds to negotiate, while at a company level, disruptive innovation as well as operational, regulatory, and competitive challenges will all continue to be impactful, creating stock‑specific uncertainty. Nevertheless, we believe that there are sufficient market drivers in place to continue to support U.S. equities, while any increase in volatility could present attractive buying opportunities as investors will often overreact in this environment, both on the downside and the upside. For strategic, long‑term investors, we believe this is a rich landscape.

What we’re watching next

The U.S.‑China trade dispute continues to weigh on investor sentiment, erode business confidence, and constrain capital spending. In our view, how this dispute evolves over the coming year will play a large part in determining the near‑term performance of the U.S. equity market.

Social and Solidarity Economy in Higher Education

If universities are to remain relevant to society they need to review their ethos, purpose and curricula.

To this end, the YSJ-led Erasmus Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) project has created a network where academics and practitioners from diverse cultural and interdisciplinary backgrounds question the role of universities as if people mattered. They are committed to studying, practising and researching people-centred economies to inform curriculum design.

Developing the mathematics teacher as mentor through team-based approaches to mentoring. (English)
Hyde, Rosalyn (ed.) et al., Mentoring mathematics teachers. Supporting and inspiring pre-service and newly qualified teachers. London: Routledge (ISBN 978-0-415-81990-9/pbk; 978-0-415-81989-3/hbk; 978-1-315-88627-5/ebook). 141-153 (2014).
Summary: This chapter discusses the context for the encounters between mentor, pre-service teacher and supervising tutors and provides an example of how tutors, mentors and pre-service teachers worked together to develop a tool and process to enhance the observation and feedback experienced by pre-service teachers. We describe the experience of pre-service teachers, school-based mentors and supervising tutors as they work at the boundary between the practices of schooling and teacher education and exemplify how a team-based, enquiry-focused approach supports and mediates learning of all three agents through identification, co-ordination, reflection and transformation.

Swimming Swan Cygnets at São Paulo Zoo

Since September, the São Paulo Zoo, in Brazil, has welcomed fifteen Black and Black-necked Swan cygnets. The snowy babies can be seen swimming alongside their graceful parents…or being chauffeured.

The Black Swan (Cygnus atratus) is a large species of swan, which breeds mainly in the southeast and southwest regions of Australia. The species was introduced to various countries as an ornamental bird in the 1800s.

The Black-necked Swan (Cygnus melancoryphus) is the largest waterfowl native to South America. However, they are the smallest member of their genus.

Black Swans are mostly black-feathered, with white flight feathers. Their bill is bright red and legs are greyish-black. An adult can measure between 110 to 142 cm (43 to 56 in.) in length and weigh 3.7 to 9 kg (8.2 to 19.8 lb.). Their wingspan is 1.6 to 2 meters (5.2 to 6.6 ft.).

Black-necked Swans have a black neck and head, greyish bill, and white body plumage. They have a red knob near the base of the bill and white stripe near the eye. In comparison to the adult Black Swans, the Black-necked species is slightly smaller. Adults average 102 to 124 cm (40 to 49 in.) and weigh 3.5 to 6.7 kg (7.7 to 14.8 lbs.) Their wingspan ranges from 135 to 177 cm (53 to 70 in.).

The Black Swan utters a musical, bugle-like sound and they are known to whistle when disturbed while breeding or nesting. Like the Mute Swan, the Black-necked Swan is relatively silent.

Both species are almost exclusively herbivorous. They feed in a similar manner to other swans, dipping their head and neck underwater.

Like other swans, the two species are largely monogamous, pairing for life. Their nest is a large mound of reeds, grass and weeds and is built in shallow water or on islands. It is reused every year and rebuilt as needed.

Both parents share the care of the nests, and a typical clutch of 4-8 eggs are incubated for 35 to 40 days. Both sexes participate in incubation. After hatching, the cygnets are tended-to by both parents and are fledged at about 9 months.

Cygnets may ride on the parent’s back for trips into deeper water, but Black Swans are less known for the behavior than Mute or Black-necked Swans.

In 2004-2005, thousands of Black-necked Swans in the Carlos Anwandter Sanctuary in Chile died or migrated following major contamination by Valdivia Pulp Mill on the Cruces River (which feeds the wetlands).

The Black Swan is protected in New South Wales, Australia.

Both species are internationally classified as “Least Concern” on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Student Debt: On the Rise Big Time

Student Loans

Student debt is accumulating at an alarming rate for a large number of people. According to a recent study by The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, student debt is approaching $1 trillion, making student debt the second largest after mortgage debt. The study estimates that 43% of 25-year-olds had student debt in 2012. We are meeting young clients with loans in excess of $200,000.

This immense level of debt is creating a drag on the economy. With such a large burden, a recent graduate is less likely to start a business, buy a house, or even start a family.

What has led to these high levels of student debt? Contributing factors include: increasing tuition rates, income levels that do not line up with the amount of debt, states funding cutbacks and the notion that all Americans need a college education. Tuition rates have increased to astounding levels; it’s not uncommon for a graduate school’s tuition to exceed $40,000. Yet, the Center for College Affordability and Productivity reported that around 48% of college graduates are in jobs that do not require a four-year college degree. The amount of a recent graduate’s loan can play a major role in the career decision that person makes when considering monthly repayments.

Many recent graduates are spending between 10 -25% of their income in student loan repayment. There are three new repayment programs that adjust the monthly payments to reflect the borrower’s adjusted gross income and ability to pay. They also provide a forgiveness of any unpaid principal at the end of the loan repayment period. However, these programs are only available to recent borrowers with federal loans and borrowers must meet a number of criteria to qualify for these programs. Additionally, unless the borrower works for the government or non-profit companies, the forgiven balance will be included as taxable income.

When the cost of attending school and the high interest rates for federal loans (6.8%) are combined, the remaining balance can be the same or larger than the original loan amount, even after 25 years of payments. This means that the borrower paid more interest than the original loan was for, and will now have tax consequences on the remaining balance. Also, unless the borrower can prove he or she is physically unable to work and there’s no chance he or she will be able to earn money, student loans will not be discharged in bankruptcy.

DWM is here to help plan a successful financial future for clients of all ages; even those with a seemingly unmanageable amount of student loan debt. Taking advantage of the repayment programs available to a client is just a part of the plan. Make sure you know all the rules for repaying the loans and follow those rules to the letter. Continue to invest in your retirement plan and don’t be afraid to have that Tuesday latté. With strategic financial planning from DWM, that student loan burden can be paid off and out of your life for good.

Greek Rescue Approved- But Europe Not Out of the Woods

Greek rescue

Today Europe finally reached a Greek Deal. Yet, doubt remains over whether Greece will be able to meet the terms of the accord and what the future holds for the euro zone.

The finance ministers agreed to the long-awaited 130 billion euro ($170 billion) deal that would start to reduce Greece’s debt to 120.5% of GDP by 2020. Private sector creditors will take a write-down on their Greek bonds of 53.5%. In return for the new cash, Greece signed up for cuts in pensions, minimum wage, health-care and defense spending, sales of assets and layoffs of public sector employees. However, even with this latest agreement, concern exists that Greece will not be able to meet its future commitments.

The Greek economy shrank by 7% in 2011, 5% of which was in the last quarter. Analysts expect further declines of at least 4% in Greek GDP in 2012 due to the required austerity programs. These structural reform measures, on top of Greece’s already 20% unemployment, will only deepen Greece’s recession. To make matters worse, businesses are not investing in Greece’s future until the euro is secure. Suppliers are not extending Greek firms credit, which is worsening the current liquidity shortage.

Elsewhere in the euro zone there are glimmers of hope. According to the Economist, Ireland has regained competitiveness, Spain’s new government has been able to reform long rigid labor laws, and Italy has passed a pension reform and is soon to propose labor reforms of its own. Yet, austerity in the short-term causes more unemployment and reductions in spending and GDP. Italy, Spain and Portugal are all expected to see a sharp drop in GDP in 2012.

By the end of February, European leaders are expected to agree on a new, higher “firewall” for euro countries that get into financial trouble. A permanent 500 billion euro ($650 billion) fund, the European Stability Mechanism is expected in July. This could bring much-needed momentum to the euro zone.

Yes, Europe has reached a Greek deal. Yet, the road to recovery for the euro zone will still be long and hard.

The Medes had also established a kind of alliance with another Iranian tribal group, the Persians. The Persians had settled in the southern areas of the Zagros, the old homeland of the Elamites, and their rulers styled themselves “kings of Anshan” (a former Elamite stronghold). Presumably to strengthen the bonds between the two people, the Median king Astyages married one of his daughters, Mandane, to the Persian king Cambyses I (600–559 b.c. ). Mandane gave birth to a son who would become one of the most celebrated rulers of all antiquity: Cyrus the Great. In 549 b.c. , Cyrus led a successful revolt against his grandfather Astyages, who was deposed, and created a unifi ed Persian-Median empire with himself as “great king, king of kings, king of the lands.” He then asserted his authority over the Iranian tribes to the east, defeated King Croesus of Lydia and annexed his kingdom (ca. 547 b.c. ), took over the Greek city-states of Ionia, and occupied Babylon (539 b.c. ). The rest of his life was mostly spent in attempting to pacify eastern Iran and defend its borders; he apparently died in 530 b.c. fi ghting off nomads from central Asia. Cyrus was a master of diplomacy and propaganda who ruled his empire, the largest the world had seen, with a light hand; he is reputed to have dealt magnanimously with defeated rivals and to have followed a policy of allowing subject peoples to retain their local religion and customs (the most famous example being the Jews who were released from captivity in Babylon and encouraged to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem).

The empire founded by Cyrus is known either as the Persian Empire, after the Persian people and the name of their homeland (Persis, the modern province of Fârs), or the Achaemenid Empire, after Achaemenes, the reputed ancestor of the dynasty. Already impressive at the time of Cyrus’ death, this empire was further expanded by his son Cambyses (530–522 b.c. ), who conquered Egypt, and in many ways was perfected by Darius the Great (522–486 b.c. ), a (perhaps distant) kinsman who took over the throne as the result of a murky palace coup. Darius proved to be an extremely successful ruler. He put down numerous attempted rebellions, defended the frontiers against the threat of nomadic invasions, and created the sophisticated system of communication and administration necessary to hold together such a vast empire. Among the many achievements of his reign were the system of organizing the empire into administrative units known as satrapies , the Royal Road and postal service linking the capital and the provinces, a canal linking the Nile and the Red Sea, the introduction of coinage, promulgation of a new law code, standardization of weights and measures, reorganization of the army and creation of the elite guard known as the Immortals, and the adoption of a script for writing the Old Persian language.

Unfortunately, Darius is most often remembered, at least among non-Iranians, for initiating the unsuccessful and ultimately disastrous series of wars between the Persians and the Greeks. The landing of Persian forces that the Athenians repulsed at the Battle of Marathon (490 b.c. ) was, to Darius, probably little more than a punitive raid that went awry. The invasion of Greece under his son Xerxes (486–465 b.c. ) was a more serious affair and one that had more far-reaching consequences. After defeating the Spartans at Thermopylae and sacking Athens, Xerxes’ campaign also ended in failure at the great naval battle of Salamis in 480 b.c. and on land at Plataea the following year. The ensuing struggle between the Greeks and Persians culminated in the invasion and destruction of the Persian Empire (334–330 b.c. ) by Alexander the Great and a period of Greek rule under the Seleucids. After the Greek interlude, two more great Iranian empires eventually arose, the Parthians and the Sasanids.

Per Dr. Bryan Matthisen, D.C.

With cell phones becoming advanced and popular, symptoms of neck and upper back pain is increasing across our country. This is due to the forward head posture position our body goes into. This position leads to increased weighted load on the front of your neck, which can lead to pain developing in muscles surrounding your neck and upper back and increase your risk of early spinal degeneration in the future.

Tips to help prevent this posture include:

Limiting time spent on your mobile device:

  • This to the first step in prevention. Smartphones track how much time you spend on your phones. Access this information on your phone to track and improve by reducing your minutes on your phone!

-Stretches/exercises for your posterior neck musculature and pectoral muscles:

  • Here are a few examples to strengthen and stretch your neck and pectoral musculature are posterior translation exercises (chin tucks) and hallway stretches.

-Mobilization/Manipulation of your upper cervical and thoracic spinal segments:

  • Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) is very helpful in mobilizing the hypomobile segments that result in localized pain that persists in the upper cervical spine and mid-thoracic spine that comes with being in the forward head posture for long periods of time.


How Provocative Are U.S.-ROK Exercises?

Analysis, Military
To critically test this proposition, Beyond Parallel gathered data on the relationship between the United States-Republic of Korea (ROK) military exercises and North Korean provocations. The scope of our qualitative study was the past 12 years of annual U.S.-ROK spring military exercises (2005–2016).

Unification Transparency Index: United States

A survey study of 233 of the United States’ top Asia/Korea experts, government officials, scholars, and opinion leaders found that domestic stabilization, not nuclear weapons, ranks as the #1 issue for the U.S. with unification (i.e., highest composite score in the entire survey in terms of most acute lack of knowledge/most acute concern for U.S. interests). The top four blind spots for the U.S.: 1) domestic stabilization; 2) nuclear weapons; 3) economic development; 4) cost.


Art and music notes. Friday, December 18

Last Friday, I managed to visit four different art and music events in one evening. Below are some reflections from each.

Our first stop was the offices of Kearny Street Workshop for their SF Thomassons Holiday Party. Readers may recall KSW’s APAture Festival and the Present Tense Biennial.

“Thomassons” are architectural elements that exist (or persist) outside of the original intended function, such as an inaccessible door leading out of an upper floor of a building, or a staircase leading to nowhere. The term was coined by Japanese conceptual artist and writer Akasegawa Genpei, and the Thomasson website allows people to upload examples from around the world. We at CatSynth have actually presented several Thomassons in our Wordless Wednesday photographic series, including these stairs leading into the San Francisco Bay. KSW’s “SF Thomassons” project involves photography and performance art centered around Thomasson sites in San Francisco. The party was a preview to coincide with Kaya Press’ publication of the first English translation of HYPERART: THOMASSON, and included a performance-art piece set at one of the largest sites in the city, an abandoned church at Howard and 10th streets that happens to be across the street from KSW’s offices.

After that, it was off to Gallery Six at 66 Sixth Street. The current exhibition, entitled “Every Single Where”, features new works by local artist Pakayla Biehn. The paintings each carried superimposed images that are similar but not identical, as if multiple exposures from a camera. According to the press release, Biehn has a congenital visual disability, and her paintings attempt to “give the viewer an understanding of her own optical condition.” Although they share the common theme, each work was stylistically quite different.

Actually, the work in the gallery that caught my attention was not in the featured exhibition, but on display in the back room from a previous exhibition, a small geometric print entitled “Bird’s Nest” from Charmaine Olivia’s Urban Managerie.

From Gallery Six, we then went to Gallery 16 for an exhibition celebrating the 25th anniversary of Emigre. Emigre was a combination digital type foundry and publisher founded by Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko, and is known both for its typefaces and the design journal Emigre Magazine. The exhibition included examples from the magazine and other designs featuring Emigre fonts.

The prints had a very clean quality, with bold colors, large shapes, and of course text. I particularly liked the works based on Licko’s abstract Puzzler font, with it’s arrangements of dots and other elements into larger complex patterns. One of the large prints (again combining text and geometric elements) also featured a large barcode with a valid ISBN number. Thinking myself quite clever, I performed a quick internet search to find out what it was – I suppose I should not have been surprised that it was issue #67 of Emigre Magazine, although the cover image from the magazine looks nothing like this print.

The final stop was Cafe du Nord for a party and concert celebrating the 50th anniversary of KFJC Radio. This was the last of several events marking the anniversary, including the concert at FLUX53 that I attended earlier in the week.

Because of the busy schedule for the evening, we only caught two of the many bands performing. First was the band al Qaeda (I am sure they were aware the name was already taken). Their music combined driving punk-style drum and guitar elements with experimental electronics elements and electrical noise.

Al Qaeda was followed Arrington de Dionyso. I had seen de Dionyso perform in a trio at FLUX53, but this time he was with his band. Once again, he performed a combination of bass clarinet with various vocal techniques, including throat singing, set against standard rock drum, bass and guitar sounds. On the screen behind the band, increasingly complex black-and-white drawings (or paintings) were being created live.

KFJC 50th Anniversary at Flux 53

Last Tuesday I attended performance celebrating the 50th anniversary of KFJC radio at FLUX53 in Oakland.

robair_marsh_dedionyso_cThe evening opened with a trio of Arrington de Dionyso, Gino Robair, and Bob Marsh. The set began with the drone of an electric harmonium, the space was then filled with the chirping of Marsh’s performance on Alesis Airs, Robair’s percussive and chaotic Blippo Box sounds, and de Dionyso’s reed instruments. All the sounds, acoustic and electronic, had a similar quality, and seemed to come together in a pattern I would describe as “yodeling”. This was followed by a combination of low reed tones and bass synthesizer sounds, both of which had complex overtones again masking the separation between acoustic and electronic.

During the next portion of the set, de Dionyso performed on a double-reed instrument that I am pretty sure was a nadaswaram, a South Indian instrument similar to the Indian shehnai, but larger. Surprisingly, it sounded more like a saxophone than what I would expect (based on my familiarity with the shehnai and double-reed instruments in general), and was set against bass synth tones and more “liquidy” sounds. The sounds evolved into a drone layered with scratches and bending notes, and then into something more evocative of old space or science-fiction music, with descending synthesizer timbres. From this mixture, a minor harmony eventually emerged.

Robair then brought out his “signature cymbal”, and played bowed metallic resonances against gurgles and whispers. de Dionyso sang into various resonant objects as well, such as a partially filled metal water pitcher, and the detached bell of a bass clarinet.

There was more of the “space harmonies” and drones, groans and static. And vocal syllables against machine-like sounds, softer percussive synthesizers and metallic resonances. The sounds faded out, leaving just the original harmonium droning. Then suddenly there were bells and loud “skronking” (fast-moving loud notes), and then the set was over.

In the intermission, Walter Funk presented the Hologlyphic Funkalizer, an installation that uses a video synthesizer to interpret audio signals and project them onto an oscilloscope. I had actually seen a previous performance at the 2008 Edgetone Music Summit where Funk also played in the duo Kwisp. This time I was treated to a more detailed presentation and explanation of the technical details, including the Max/MSP programs that generated the audio signals and the analog video synthesizer. You can see visual examples at his website.

The LARGE ensemble, which was indeed large, performed a series of conducted improvisations, with Gino Robair and Bob Marsh alternating as conductors. Marsh conducted the piece in dramatic fashion. It began slowly with atonal pitches, squeaks, bends and glissandi on various instruments. The woodwinds began to add more “pointed” notes, with some short runs and phrases. The full ensemble then came to a loud stop followed by silence; then back to more of the longer notes from the beginning, then another loud hit and silence. This repeated a few times. Out of last silence emerged guitar scratches and harmonics set against scraped percussion, eventually joined by plucked string basses with bending notes, then the smaller string instruments. The texture grew dense again with long notes followed by faster runs. The music became loud and energetic and “argumentative”. And then it stopped.

[click to en-LARGE]

The next piece, conducted by Robair, had a sparser texture that seemed to focus on individual timbres of the instruments and specific sounds. It started with analog synthesizers and noise generates (Travis Johns) set against fast gurgling trumpet (CJ Borosque). They were soon joined by string bass and guitar also playing faster tones, while the violins faded in with a long steady-state tone. I could envision the ensemble being played as if it was a synthesizer rig rather than a series of separate instruments and performs. The texture grew thick, with some deep bass electronic sounds set against the strings; then it grew sparse again, with drums, trombone and bass clarinet. After some jazz-like runs on the basses, the ending centered around loud multiphonics and overblown tones from the bass clarinet.

The next piece started off like a standard from the 20th century classical repertoire, with detached pitches, atonal harmonies and percussive sounds. The music carried the tension and anxiety of a film score. Eventually the whole ensemble crept in. I also particular liked a section with clanging metal percussion against a very low synthesizer drone.

Robair then introduced the next piece as “Stretched out Xenakis in G.” It very quickly lived up to its name, with very slow pizzicato glissandi, and drones set against percussion scrapes. It was interesting to watch some of the instructional cards being used in the conducting, some had very literal musical meanings like “louder”, “soft”, “sweet”, “fast”, but others had more unusual instructions like “subvert.” Eventually, the ensemble settled into a textural equilibrium with everyone playing at once, and then instrumentals were replaced by voices singing in such a way to keep the existing texture going. The voices and instruments moved towards subtle harmonies or unisons (which I realized were of course all on on near G). Against this harmonic structure I heard the scraping sounds from Tom Nunn’s skatch box. The texture of the music grew more complex, and was then suddenly replaced by a violin solo of a minor melody that sounded quite Eastern European.

At this point, Marsh again took over conducting, and both he and Robair alternated every few minutes while the music continued uninterrupted. There were sections featuring mallet percussion, and squeaks on a soprano saxophone set against Nunn’s scratches, and a big “drum solo”. Later on, the mallet percussion rhythms took on a jazz feel in terms of syncopation and harmonies, an effect that was augmented by the presence of guitar chords. The texture eventually grew noisier again, with noise generators and loud, excited playing by the whole ensemble. The instrumental ensemble again became a chorus of voices, this time sounding a bit drunk. As the music grew software, Marsh held up the final instructional card: “God is in the details.” After this, the music came to a loud finish.

Know How To Park on Hills

Consider the following question: You park on headed uphill and there is a curb. How should you turn your front wheels? On the California test, 49 percent of the test takers pick the correct answer. The correct procedure is described on page 46 in the California Driver Handbook along with a good illustration. This, of course, makes it easier for you to learn. On the Florida test, only 38 percent get the question right. Correct parking is basically described in the handbook with images only. It is easy to miss this when you study the Florida Handbook. In Connecticut, more than two out of three miss this question (only 32 percent get it right). The driver's manual does not mention how to turn the wheels when facing uphill. But you are still required to know this, since it is part of your behind-the-wheel driving test. To make it very simple, there is basically only one thing you have understand and remember for your DMV test!

Novo Line

Novo Line is the moniker of Nat Fowler, once part of the Baltimore math rock scene, but nowadays transformed into a clusterfucking techno act that delves deeply into the unknown territory of old skool atari computers. Last year he released an amazing record on Ecstatic Records that takes the idea’s of UR, Drexciya and alike deep into the 21st century, without resigning to new technology. Techno used to be a thrilling genre that was all about developing new idea’s and sounds, but then the market started mingling in by producing pre programmed plugins aimed at lazy producers copying each other. Novo Line revives the original spirit and takes techno where it belongs: boldly into a universe where no-one has gone before.

How did you end up in Berlin, coming from Baltimore? You’ve been around for quite a while, starting as a musician playing in math rock bands. And when did the atari’s come in?

Nat Fowler

My band Oxes first toured Europe in 2001, and I fell in love with someone. It changed my life, and brought me to Italy in 2004. But small town living, for many reasons, drove me crazy. I had to get out, and so as a couple we emigrated to Berlin in 2007, because it was cheap, we both had friends here already, and it seemed to be drawing many people from all over for its arts and culture. A lot of that part quite frankly was seeing the grass greener on the other side, but it’s worked out enough for us both, for work and for life. I just wish the locals were nicer and the weather was sunnier.

Starting working with Atari’s was an accident. I wanted to make music by myself because I couldn’t find anyone to make music with. I was lucky to find the musician friends I had in Baltimore, but nothing came close in either Italy or Berlin. I wanted to continue in the general direction I did with Oxes, but as a one-man-band. This idea clashed a bit with the idea of electronic music and dance music, at least in any ways I knew of on how to produce. But I was determined to find a way.

I didn’t want to make math rock in the way that most people conceive it; I liked how King Crimson’s RED, Melvins OZMA, This Heat, Cheer Accident, or even Metallica’s And Justice for All is math rock. But I didn’t like how most modern independent bands did it most of the time. I moved away from Baltimore at about the same time that my band Oxes was having a few creative crises- so from the beginning with an electronic direction so-to-speak, I had certain ideas regarding rhythm and melody/harmony that I didn’t hear much elsewhere.

In the back of my mind, since I moved, I wanted to do something that excited me like those records excited me, but than as a solo act. On the other end, I liked what the Perlon scene and artists like Errorsmith and Soundstream/Soundhack did with rhythmic shifts in live and dj sets (I’m talking back in 2002-2004 here!). Plus, all modern software didn’t seem to allow the elasticity or texture I wanted.

At that moment, I found myself volunteering for a Goodwill/Oxfam kind of place in Italy, called Manitese. We would clean out old houses, and I’d find old computers that hadn’t been touched in years, and a broken DX7II that I fixed. I had a friend, Jeff Donaldson, aka Notendo, back in Baltimore that was making glitch art and doing various weird audio/visual things with the Commodore 64 and nintendo. He had an Atari ST, and used Cubase on it. He always raved about its stability.

Some time later, already Berlin, I was figuring out what to do — setting up a studio, meeting people. My studio landlord was cleaning out his basement and gave me his old Atari ST, because he knew I had those C64s... It took about 2 months to figure out what to do with that Atari ST, and I’ve just added layers of complexity onto my original discovery of how to use it, ever since.

It’s interesting that you use an old machine such as the Atari. Techno and electronic music once was about having a new array of new technology that could produce any new sound possible. Nowadays it seems more and more about a retro thing. Is it that way for you as well?

I’m not going to pretend to be any scholar on Techno or electronic music in general, but from what I know about some of Techno’s origins, it was about abusing and misusing tools that were made for a different purpose. That visceral first Phuture record was done using machines that weren’t made to do that — you can’t say that about modern equipment or software synths.

I like that early techno approach. I’m squeezing out some new purpose and use of these Ataris, midi tools, and synths for sure. I think it’s a shame that once electronic instrument companies caught on to the appeal of using these tools for purposes aside from accompaniment with acoustic and normal instruments. They started to manufacture and market things based on these ideas that electronic artists had and it became a feedback loop in only a few directions, and the only direction things have seemed to go in for a while now is in sound texture, but there is so much more to music than just how it sounds, so I try to explore some of those unexplored facets. . .

With regards to being retro, for me it’s not a retro thing but a holistic thing; I’ve wanted to not be classified as 8-bit or Italo or 80s renegade or whatever. But I’ve found myself settling into the MIDI tech that was available from about 87-90’, because those machines seem to work great with each other, sound wise and technically, and of course the ST and the software I run are also from that era. I’ve tried throwing in analog/modular, more modern filters,etc, but I have yet to find something else from a different era that fits with what I’ve built up.

Maybe you can see it as a new form of craftmanship then?

I can see that with modular, this satisfaction of building up your modular synth and the patch with many cables. For me, what I do with my MIDI cables is somewhat similar. I build up this physical interface for every show, each cable going to a certain place to do a certain thing, and it’s very satisfying having this large thing that I can look at, and change physically, and manipulate with knobs, and of course digital buttons.

You refer on the Movements album to the Pythagorus’ ideas and that is interesting, as we programmed a movie about Tony Conrad who was explicitly Anti-Pythagorean, in the sense that he was anti-elitist and radical democratic — he saw the theories of Pythagorus as being elitist, as it strived for harmony.

Funny, I just put a Conrad piece in a mix I’m doing to promote the new record.

I think for a certain era, it was important to throw away the shackles of the past, for new music in the 20th century. All the old ideas of composition, harmony, rhythm, aesthetics, could and should have gone out the window. But that revolution is over, just as in visual art. It exists, we have echtzeitmusik, we have noise, we even have Post-Techno made only with software. Soon we’ll have AI doing it. We have people making very normal dance records and professing their love for new music.

I’ve come up against a lot of resistance to my music from many in these different musical worlds over the years, which has made me give up on even convincing anyone that I’m on their side so to speak: it’s not that its history hasn’t informed me; it’s been completely integral to the formation of what I do, but I don’t wear my influences on my sleeve.

As for Conrad’s beliefs: I could get sidetracked here and challenge the idea of democracy in its opposition to harmony (would someone want democracy in order to create chaos?) but I’m also ill-informed. But as far as disregarding the ideas because they were elitist, especially if they are 2500 year old ideas. that is misguided. But in any case, using what we know of Pythagoras’s secret school inherently makes it not elitist: I’m not in any school, I literally just watched a youtube video and started digging around the internet and eventually into paper books on the subject.

But as for the ideas, there is something to be said about harmony and being pleasing to the ears, to form that is harmonic and based on principles derived from natural phenomena. When we listen to music sometimes we like it because it’s beautiful, other times because its ugly. I try to make something in between of course like many people do, but using the Pythagorean frequencies and scale, which is luckily possible with this old equipment I have*, the tones reverberate better in a space, they mix together better in the electronics inside an analog mixer. They are slightly off what we are most accustomed to listening to that they offer something new to the ear without our minds really becoming conscious of why. Dissonance and Consonance sound different as well.

 Also its important to know that the label wrote the album text, so me telling them about using the pythagorean scale gets translated into ALBUM BASED ON PYTHAGOREAN IDEAS BLAH BLAH ;)

*- (I tuned 127 notes by ear to a tone generator, within .6 cents accuracy, on 4 different synths, very different from a scale preset called Pythagorean)

Where does the name Novo Line comes from?

The area I live in, Neukoelln, which I joke that I founded because in 2007 it was so little known as even a place to look for apartments, is full of these storefront Casinos. Sometimes up to 5 on a single city block, and most are empty or near empty, with a bartender standing under some crazy lights, and open 24 hours a day, or my favorite, 23 hours. There were A LOT more 10 years ago, but they are still quite widespread. It’s not clear if they are money laundering setups or what.. They are called Automatenspiel Spielotheks, and when I started using the ST to make music, I realized that I was kind of gambling when I made music, because it was based on random generation of notes,  and literally translated from German, Automatenspiel is Automatic Game, and i liked this idea of producing this music using the most archaic tech I could manage to string together with MIDI cables, making something that sounded new, almost automatically. So I was at a bar one night with Francesco and Leila (Sea Urchin, but this was before Sea Urchin!) talking about this new thing I was doing, and Leila didnt like the name Automatenspiel, because it was too literal. She pointed out that good names have a level removed between the idea/concept and the name. She was right, and like a strike of lightning, I screamed out “NOVO LINE!” and Leila loved it:  most of these Casinos have these swirling lighted signs in the window, advertising the digital slot machine brand (from austria where Leila is from!) called Novo Line, and in fact what I am doing, in contrast to what I used to do (make music with guitar in a band), this was a very new, or novo, direction, or line to be going in. The name worked, on many levels, and I like playing with the idea of using the name of something so ubiquitous that nobody even notices it. My artist name is vaguely familiar for many people in Berlin, but I’d say only 1% understand why: they see it every day, multiple times, in storefront windows that they dont even look at.

Do you have a fascination for space travelling?

I don’t. Or maybe just a healthy fascination? If you’re referring to the album cover,the earth image is the very first live image of the full Earth, ever transmitted to earth from satellite, on a machine my father built at his job, in 1974. Nokia has the rights to the patent since 1995 (no, I dont have a waterfall of nokia money, he was a company man and saw no credit). I found the original diapositives a few years ago in my parents’ old house in a locked filing cabinet I had to force open when I was emptying the house.  my jaw dropped, so I committed to having them become future album covers. This is the first one, designed by my sister in law, using the earth as the centerpiece. There are more to come!

Employing a Sugar-Derived Dimethacrylate to Evaluate Controlled Branch Growth during Polymerization with Multiolefinic Compounds

Pal, Sunirmal, Brooks, William L. A., Dobbins, Daniel J., Sumerlin, Brent S.
Macromolecules 2016 v.49 no.24 pp. 9396-9405
chemical structure, copolymerization, molecular weight, polyethylene glycol
Radical copolymerization of divinyl monomers in the presence of chain transfer agents leads to soluble hyperbranched polymers. In this work, hyperbranched poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (PPEGMA) with degradable cross-linker branch points derived from glucarodilactone methacrylate was prepared via reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization to provide insight into hyperbranch formation during copolymerizations of multiolefinic compounds. The number-average molecular weight of the polymers increased nonlinearly with monomer conversion, implying that the incorporation of the divinyl cross-linker led to chain branching and a rapid increase in molecular weight at high conversion. The degree of branching was varied by controlling the feed ratio of monomer to cross-linker to chain transfer agent. Hydrolytic degradation of the sugar-derived dilactone branch points was examined under acidic, neutral, and basic aqueous conditions. To provide fundamental insight into the growth of primary chains during RAFT polymerizations of multiolefinic compounds, the resulting hyperbranched polymers were subjected to cross-link cleavage to obtain linear polymers. The molecular weights of the resulting polymer segments were similar to the theoretical molecular weights expected for linear analogues prepared with similar ratios of monomer to RAFT agent. Not only does this approach lead to new examples of degradable polymers with complex architectures, but also to important mechanistic insights into hyperbranch formation via polymerization of multiolefinic compounds.


Five-Ring Circus

Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky in the Same Relay? It Could Happen.

Future teammates? Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky at the 2016 U.S. Olympic trials in Omaha, Nebraska.

Tom Pennington/Getty Images

On Saturday night, the United States won decisive victories in the men’s and women’s medley relays, putting a glorious capper on its Olympic swim meet. In the penultimate event, the gilded superstars of the women’s team handily vanquished the rest of the world, winning the Americans’ 32nd swimming medal of the 2016 Games. In the final race of the session, the gold-draped megastars of the men’s squad backstroked, breaststroked, butterflied, and freestyled their way to victory in an Olympic record time—the United States’ 33rd medal. No other country has more than 10.

Can you imagine a more magnificent ending to a week in the pool? I can. What if there were one last event, a mixed-gender medley that teamed the nation’s winningest women with its most-medalled men. This would be more than just a chance for the U.S. team to win more hardware. It would also let viewers see male and female swimmers interacting in the pool, not just in the ready room or the stands.

This isn’t a crazy fantasy. The 2015 world championships in Kazan, Russia, featured two mixed relays, a 4-by-100 medley won by Great Britain and a 4-by-100 freestyle race in which a dream team of Ryan Lochte, Nathan Adrian, Simone Manuel, and anchor Missy Franklin narrowly beat the Netherlands, setting a world record in the process.

If that knowledge alone doesn’t make you giddy with excitement, please note that the rules of mixed relays allow teams to use the swimmers in any order they like. According to the New York Times, this turned the mixed medley relay into a very wet chess match, with the Russians the only team to save one of their men for the anchor leg. In the end, Great Britain’s Fran Halsall held off Russia’s Vladimir Morozov to win the race and set a world record.

The push to include more mixed-gender events in the games comes from the top. One of the key goals of the Olympic Agenda 2020—the Olympic movement’s roadmap for the future—is to foster gender equality. While there are more female athletes in Rio de Janeiro than at any prior Olympics—approximately 4,700 of the 10,444 athletes are women—the games have yet to reach gender parity. The Olympic Agenda calls on the IOC to increase the number of female athletes at the games “by creating more participation opportunities.” One way to do that, the document says, is “to encourage the inclusion of mixed-gender team events.” In Rio, that means mixed doubles in badminton and tennis; a male-female crew in the Nacra 17 division of the sailing regatta; and the “who cares if the rider is a man or a woman” world of equestrian.

In future Olympics, there could be many more such events. Two of the three mixed-gender events added to the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi were relays—the biathlon teams consist of two women and two men, while the luge’s involved three men and one woman. (The other mixed event was a figure skating team competition.) Sporting federations in events as varied as triathlon and cycling have signaled a willingness to explore mixed relays, and a spokeswoman for FISA, the World Rowing Federation, told me that the possibility of a mixed event “is being reviewed.” When the rowing program is announced for the Tokyo Games of 2020, there might well be a mixed boat on the list.

The FISA spokeswoman noted that “Paralympic rowing has set the scene with a mixed boat—para mixed double scull,” and indeed most of the Paralympic sports include some mixed-gender events. (In Paralympic Boccia, men and women compete against each other in all categories.) Mixed-gender relays are also common in age-restricted competitions. The 2014 Youth Olympic Games, an elite multisport event for athletes 14-18 that is organized by the International Olympic Committee and thus serves as something of a signal of the IOC’s intentions, included mixed-gender relays in cycling, swimming, and track, and mixed team competitions in archery, badminton, diving, fencing, golf, judo, modern pentathlon, shooting, table tennis, tennis, and triathlon.

Track and field, at least for now, seems to be resisting the mixed-gender trend. A spokeswoman for USA Track and Field told me, “I have not heard any movement toward mixed relays.” While the 2014 Youth Olympic Games did feature a mixed-gender 8-by-100-meter relay, it was a very wacky race. According to the IAAF website, “The competition featured eight randomly selected—four male and four female—athletes across a range of events and all national Olympic committees. Each team had to include at least one athlete from each discipline group: sprints/hurdles, endurance, jumping, and throwing.” The winning team consisted of a German shot putter, an Australian sprinter, a 1,500-meter runner from Comoros, a 400-meter hurdler from Thailand, a 400-meter sprinter from Venezuela, a Russian triple jumper, an 800-meter runner from the British Virgin Islands, and a Romanian 200-meter sprinter. A governing body that saw mixed track-and-field relays as a possible addition to the Olympic program would have organized something that looked a bit less like the Laff-a-Lympics.

Adding mixed relays probably won’t do all that much to bring more women to the games, since relay teams typically consist of athletes who have already participated in individual events. But there are other benefits: Populous, rich nations with well-organized sports programs have a huge advantage in relays. It’s easy enough for a vast country like the United States, population 324 million, to line up four great male or female freestylers. Mixed relays reward smaller countries that are blessed with outstanding men and exceptional women, since you only need two of each to compete.

But let’s be honest: The real reason we’re likely to see at least one mixed relay on the swimming program at a future Olympic Games is that it would be great for television. While the bloated Olympic program is a great excuse to keep out TV-unfriendly races like the women’s 1,500-meter freestyle, relays are ratings gold. If NBC has a vision board, I’ll bet there’s an image of Katie Ledecky and Michael Phelps swimming in the same event pinned at the very top. Set your DVRs for Tokyo.

Arthritis & Joints

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is inflammation of the joints. The most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease. It is caused by joint degeneration and loss of joint cartilage.

What causes osteoarthritis or DJD?

1. the natural aging process 2. wear-and-tear or repetative trauma 3. inherited abnormalities in joint structure

With cumlative stress on a joint and the aging process, the ability to restore and create normal cartilage that cushions the joint decreases, therefore, damage to the cartilage occurs followed by bony changes which results in a degenerative joint.

Proper spinal curves permit normal turning and bending. Openings between joints allow nerve roots to exit the spine without interference. The edges of the bones are smooth and well defined. Equal disc spacing is a sign of healthy spinal function.
Loss or normal curves and misalignment restrict or exaggerate normal ranges of motion. ligament and muscle strength is reduced. Even with nerve irritation and soft tissue inflammation, pain or other obvious symptoms may not be present.
Years of accumulated calcium deposition are now visible. Bone spurs attempt to fuse malfunctioning joints. Adjacent surfaces are rough and uneven. Joint instability is accompanied by continued nerve irritation and disc degeneration.

After years of neglect, complete fusion has immobilized the joint. Obstructed nerve openings cause permanent nerve irritation as soft tissue degeneration continues. This irreversible condition is usually associated with other chronic health problems.

What is the conventional treatment of osteoarthrits?

The primary drugs used in the treatment of osteoarthritis are called "NSAID's" (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). These drugs help to relieve pain and are tolerated well if used carefully and cautiously. NSAID's if used long term or if not utilized properly may be associated with gastric irritation , GI bleeding, liver and kidney damage.

Supplements for Joint Care and Health:

Fish or Flaxseed Oil....Essential fatty acids that help control pain and inflammation.

Vitamin C....Helps control pain and inflammation, antioxidant.

Multivitamin....Supplies essential nutrients needed to repair and maintain tissues.

Coenzyme Q10....Increases tissue oxygenation to aid in repair of connective tissue.

Garlic....Antioxidant and detoxifier.

Proteolytic Enzymes (digestive enzymes, bromelain, etc.).... Reduces inflammation, improves absorption of foods needed for tissue repair.

Probiotics....Bacterial cultures, such as acidophilus, that assist the body's naturally occurring flora in the gastrointestinal tract that help the digestive processes and balance.

Diet.... Fruit, vegetables, fish, no meat, 8 glasses of water per day, rest, exercise.

Vit D/Calcium/Magnesium....Vit D assists in mineral deposition into bones, immunity health.  Calcium excites nerves, prevents bone loss, needed for blood clotting. Magnesium relaxes muscles, prevents bone loss, keeps blood flowing freely. Any imbalance of these can be unhealthy.

Glucosamine sulfate (GS), an amino sugar. The body utilizes glucosamine to stimulate the process of cartilage renewal and helps make the synovial fluid in the joints thick and elastic.

Fish oil

Cardiovascular Health
Fish oil from supplements and dietary sources has been shown to provide support for healthy triglycerides and vascular relaxation. Fish oil is associated with positive effects on lipid metabolism, blood flow, platelet function, endothelial tone and homocysteine metabolism.
Musculoskeletal Support
Numerous double-blind trials indicate that fish oil promotes joint mobility and joint comfort, in part by maintaining healthy prostaglandin, cytokine and leukotriene production.Epidemiological research suggests that fish consumption is associated with healthy bone mineralization. In studies, the combination of fish oil and calcium supplementation promotes healthy bone composition in the elderly.
Cognitive/Emotional Health
Epidemiological and clinical research indicates that fish oil supports positive mood, mental function and memory. By promoting healthy neuronal cell membrane function and blood flow, fish oil facilitates oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain.Infants and children born to mothers who had supplemented with fish oil demonstrate healthy cognitive capacity.

Gastrointestinal Comfort

Fish oil has a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect for the gastrointestinal tract.

Skin Health
Omega-3 fatty acids protect keratinocytes and skin fibroblasts from free radicals and immune mediators generated by sun exposure. Additionally, these essential fatty acids help promote elasticity and hydration for smoother looking skin.

Eye Health
Studies suggest that fish oil, particularly DHA, promotes visual acuity and hydration.

Joint Noise: Popping and Cracking

Popping and cracking sounds in the course of the movement of human joints are natural-and often disconcerting. These sounds are made in two general circumstances: when the sound is accompanied by pain in the moving joint, and when the sound occurs with the movement alone.

Most joints in the body have common construction features. Two or more bones create the skeletal component, with the bones at their point of contact covered by a slick, friction-reducing material known as articular cartilage. The joint is encased in a capsule that contains synovial fluid, a substance also designed to reduce friction in the joint. Present in the joint is often a bursa, a gel-filled fibrous sac that acts to cushion impacts received at the joint. The bones at the joint are secured to one another by ligaments; the joint usually is powered by muscle and tendon groups secured to the bones. Slight misalignments and surrounding muscles and ligaments can cause a cracking sound on movement.

In summary, the sound you are describing is called a cavitation, and it occurs when the capsule of a joint is stretched, producing a negative pressure within the joint, and allowing the lubricating fluid of the joint to escape as carbon dioxide gas. This is the same phenomenon that occurs when people "pop" their knuckles. The repetitive popping in your neck is probably associated with areas of joint dysfunction that cause some joints to move too freely (called hypermobility) and other joints to not move correctly (called hypomobility), combined with chronic muscular tension that essentially primes the joint to cavitate with certain movements.

Manipulation may alleviate the pain or discomfort of this condition, and in other cases, it may not. Some proprietary chiropractic techniques specifically aim to restore the normal spinal curvatures.

*Please note: If you have any medical condition, check your health care physician before taking any supplement.
